We built a new PC for my son at Christmas. It's has been working fine until last weekend. He brought the PC base unit home (carefully packaged and handled) where we connected it to my second monitor using leads that I had. This connected to different ports on the graphics card. It took a bit of fiddling until we could get it to recognise the monitor. We didn't identify any specific problem and put it down to a connection issue. Everything was fine for next few days until we took him back to Uni.
We had a repeat of the problem but this time have been unable to get it working. What we have tried:
Purchased Nov17:
Gigabyte GA-AB350-Gaming 3 AMD B350 (Socket AM4) DDR4 ATX Motherboard
AMD Ryzen 5 Six Core 1600X 4.00GHz (Socket AM4) Processor - Retail
Team Group Vulcan T-Force 16GB (2x8GB) DDR4 PC4-19200C14 2400MHz Dual Channel Kit - Grey (TLGD416G24
I think the power supply is Corsair CS650M 650W Semi-Modular 80+ GOLD Certified Power Supply (Nov 16)
Thanks for your advice!

We had a repeat of the problem but this time have been unable to get it working. What we have tried:
- reset bios
- putting the video card in a different slot
- adding a speaker so we can hear beep codes
- putting memory in different slots and just using a single stick
- using a different (rather ancient) video card
- disconnecting everything apart from keyboard, mouse and monitor
